Secret Santa gifts, whether for a close friend or a not-so-close co-worker, don't have to be that complicated.

There are essential non-personalized things we can all appreciate: from funky, office decor to a new mug to gifts that give back, finding the perfect Secret Santa present is all about being thoughtful and practical.

If you don't know the person that well, do a bit of research by asking their close friends or checking out their social media feeds to see if there are any hobbies or interests that pop out ... just don't ruin the surprise by telling a lot of people.
